Happy Tuesday! 😍😍😍
 
Last night, the annual MET Gala was held in NYC, and it did not disappoint!
 
The theme of the evening was "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," a celebration of Black dandyism and the influence of Black style in fashion history.
 
And Black Hollywood absolutely showed up and showed out, highlighting an array of Black designers and historical Black fashion trends. πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ
 
For the first time, I actually watched the red carpet show (hosted by E! News) in its ENTIRETY!
 
My TOP THREE looks of the evening are as follows:
 
1) ZENDAYA πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡

 

The best look of the night was Zendaya... HANDS DOWN!
 
My goodness, her tailor-made pantsuit was nothing short of classic, sleek elegance that was CLEARLY a nod to style ICONS, Ms. Diana Ross and Bianca Jagger!
 
Zendaya's look was absolute PERFECTION!!!
 
2) NICKI MINAJ πŸ₯ˆπŸ₯ˆπŸ₯ˆ

 

My (close) second favorite look of the night was Nicki Minaj!
 
I don't follow Nicki's career, but I've never seen her so polished and REFINED! Her look fit the theme to a tee, very much reminiscent of legendary opera singer, Marian Anderson, during the Harlem Renaissance!
 
3) KEKE PALMER πŸ₯‰πŸ₯‰πŸ₯‰

 

My third favorite look was Keke Palmer!
 
She looked absolutely RADIANT in her wedding gown/tuxedo ensemble! Very chic!
 
And, of course, there were several other looks that made a splash!

 

Who were your faves of the evening? What did you think of the theme?
 
Who was a HIT... and who was a MISS? πŸ’…πŸ’…πŸ’…
 
Check out the gallery of Black women MET Gala attendees! Your thoughts?

Paris Fashion Week x Black Women!
Happy Thursday, Coffee Talkies! Another Paris Fashion Week is in the books! And, per usual, Black women showed up and gave us various interpretations of style. Some were winners...

Kerry & Ben Together!
Happy Monday, Coffee Talkies! In just a few days, Kerry Washington and Ben Affleck's new thriller, Animals, will premiere on Netflix. Last week, the two actors took to the red carpet to promote the film... And they looked absolutely fabulous together! They're one of those pairings that you probably never considered, but after seeing them together, they make so much sense! They really seemed to...
